Three Strokes

My father tried several business enterprises in JB but none worked out. I guess the pressure was too much for him. He started to become ill. We went home before the money totally ran out and bought a house in a lousy area. It was what we could afford then. Not long after we went back to Medan, my father had his first stroke. Then he got well and was able to work again. Then he had his second stroke. He got better but had to stay home most of the time. The third stroke left him completely paralyzed. He could hardly speak and what he said sometimes did not make sense sometimes. He got thinner and thinner.
